Spences Reefs

Spences Reefs

Spences Reefs comprises two islets, with a combined area of 0.65 ha, in south-eastern Australia. They are close to the south-east corner of Little Green Island and part of Tasmania’s Great Dog Island Group, lying in eastern Bass Strait between Flinders and Cape Barren Islands in the Furneaux Group.

Fauna

Recorded breeding seabird and wader species are Little Penguin, White-faced Storm-Petrel, Sooty Oystercatcher, Pied Oystercatcher and Caspian Tern. Rats are present, with evidence that they prey on the storm-petrels.Brothers, Nigel; Pemberton, David; Pryor, Helen; & Halley, Vanessa. (2001).
